Clayton Thomas-Müller is a Cree activist and writer from Canada, most noted for his memoir Life in the City of Dirty Water.[1]
A member of the Mathias Colomb First Nation, he was raised primarily in Winnipeg, Manitoba.[2] He began his activist work by doing gang intervention work in his teens, before expanding into environmental and indigenous rights activism.[1]
Life in the City of Dirty Water, published in 2021, shares its name with a short documentary film by Thomas-Müller and Spencer Mann which premiered at the 2019 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.[3] The book was selected for the 2022 edition of Canada Reads, where it was defended by Suzanne Simard.[4]
